Ron Paul Can Beat Obama And Romney Can't

The average of all the major polls, as reported on RealClearPolitics.com, has Obama leading Romney by 3.5%. Obama leads Romney 237 to 191 in the Electoral College, and InTrade has Obama 57% and Romney 42%. Romney can't beat Obama and Ron Paul can.

Ron Paul's high rating in this national poll provides evidence for a compelling question the Delegates should ask at the Republican Nominating Convention in Tampa, Florida: Why nominate Romney if he can't win? The polls show, even after his massive media campaign, Romney is still losing to Obama and the polls show, with a media campaign, Ron Paul can beat Obama.
